NBC 12 tonight at 11pm - Pistol Packing Moms

Thanks PS. : ) PeterNap is right. I had wrist surgery in February and had not shot since then on the advice of my surgeon. As to my stance, because of the metal rod in my leg I have to stand how is comfortable. And considering I hadn't shot in close to a year, I did a lot better than I thought I would. I was trying not to hurt my wrist again as I'd rather not have surgery again.

Thanks again for asking me to come out. I look at it this way, if the ONLY thing people can find out of the WHOLE video to complain about was my form, then I did a damn good job.

and the dust has settled, the ONLY point that will matter is if you were able to place enough effective shots on target in time enough to prevent the target from doing the same thing to you.

Candy's post also makes clear that even folks with special needs should not have their rights infringed upon, much less their right to self defense.

Mission accomplished Candy, Jim. Thank You.

Thanks SS! I enjoyed doing it (aside from the whole trying not to cry part) and I was about 99% pleased with it. Aside from the fact that I started shooting a few years BEFORE i met my husband but whatever LOL

Then props to you for shooting even while not fully recovered from surgery (that's commitment).

Also, I'm glad the news report didn't try to skew the whole thing to make you out to be some sort of crazed pistol-packing lunatic. They seemed to do a fairly good job sticking to the facts.

Keep fighting the good fight ClumsyCandy.

With the injury issues that CC was dealing with, I think she did a stellar job. Hit the target every time. When she's 100%, I'll be happy to show her a more defensive stance/posture.

The reporter was great to work with on this. No agenda whatsoever. Just wanted to tell the story.

I haven't looked at the video yet, I will later. But does she use a wrist brace to help with the injury while shooting?

ClumsyCandy said:

I have one but chose not to use it as they were filming and knew I was either going to be criticized for wearing it while shooting or criticized for poor form. Either way, if that's all anyone can find to criticize, I did what I set out to do. Educate. Advocate.

Glad to see you healing up there.

Only hits count, there are no style points awarded. You did greatttt!

Maybe a reloader in your area could help you out with some lighter loads so you can get out and practice without fear of re-injury.

And, sorry for your lose (your grandmother).

Thanks Marco. It was seriously hard watching. Even after 18 years. Never gets easier.

And my husband reloads, it was more me being concerned : ) Thanks for the suggestion though, I'll mention it to him. Unfortunately, reloading supplies are harder to find than unicorns!

Women are generally coming in, they're with a clean slate. They haven't learned bad habits, so they're easier to teach and they listen to direction better. They follow everything you tell them, every step of the way, said Reynolds.
